From 2002, Barry Manilow: A Christmas Gift of Love CD is a terrific salute to the holiday season. I love Christmas classics and I love Barry Manilow, so this was a natural CD to add to my music collection, and I wasn’t disappointed at all, except with the …

I am one of those people who used to think that there was nothing better than death metal in its purest form. However, when a friend of mine recommended the Symphonic Black Metal band Dimmu Borgir to me some years ago, I began to reconsider that notion because as …

I have always enjoyed and admired Shania Twain’s beauty. Her CD album years before, entitled Come On Over by Shania Twain was the first time that made me having a total admiration for her brunette beauty. She looks so awesome and is indeed so super gorgeous. And …

I really enjoy the simplicity of this track. The gentle opening and how gradually it starts to develop into what is just a great sounding track.
Again, it’s Gary Barlow behind it, the writer and the driving force behind Take That.
As a performance it does build gradually, it doesn’t explode …

No one does “vintage music” better than Lana Del Rey. The first time I listened to her debut album Born To Die a couple of years ago I was left awestruck, unable to make anything good the following hour because my mind was filled with, “How the hell did …

Rock And Roll is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their album Led Zeppelin IV. As you should be able to tell from the title, the song has a very rock driven sound and certainly demonstrates Zeppelin playing very pure rock and roll without any unconventional songwriting, …

Overview —“ Hero Of The Day, the second music video released by Metallica for the album Load, continues in the sort of strange symbolism that the band first introduced with Until It Sleeps. I don’t mean to come off as sounding as if symbolism is bad in music videos, …

Stovokor has some interesting sounds and I could relate to this death metal music but at one point, I did get “disgusted” and felt that the music were all kind of ill-tempered and definitely harsh and filthy. But I would like to take the benefit of the doubt …

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, a track written primarily by John Lennon for The Beatles’ record Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band would have to be one of the more psychedelic tracks which the band has written, or at least one of the tracks most heavily associated with …

Overview - Let It Be, the final studio album of The Beatles, is made up more of melodic tracks rather than just traditional rock songs, although there are still some of those on here, mixed with some great songwriting and excellent vocal delivery. For me, there aren’t too many …

I received this CD about 2 christmases ago from a friend. Greenday was my favourite group then, so I was very excited about listening to them. They did not let me down of course. My favourite song in the album was the song “Boulevard of Broken dreams” even though …

Falling Away With You is a song by Muse which appears on their record Absolution. The song opens up with an extremely melodic synthesizer rhythm which an acoustic guitar lead soon comes in over. Bellamy’s vocal melody pretty much mimics this acoustic guitar part but it works well nonetheless …

Ariana Grande has been dubbed as this generation’s Mariah Carey but in my opinion she doesn’t even come close. In terms of vocals, Ariana is slightly ahead most of her peers, and I agree that she really has big vocal ability but comparing her to Mariah she looks like …

Ode To C.C. (Part 1) is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their second release, Oh My Gawd. I will say right now that this track is not a traditional song by any means and I find it to be quite a disappointing song on the …

From the opening strum of the song, you will eventually come to a conclusion that it will be great. Every time I hear the opening melody I always have the feeling that the song will be great throughout, and that instinct is always right, the song is pure EDM …

BSB’s album “Never Gone” was released in the June of last year. Before I could put my hands on one, the stock was finished! I hadn’t realised that BSB were still in so much demand! Well, the album is so cool, I haven?t yet stopped listening to it! The …

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is the second and most recent album released by Neutral Milk Hotel. One of my friends considered this to be in their top five albums of all time, so I will admit that I went into the listening of the record with slightly …

Boom Boom Pow is the new song from Black Eyed Peas. Like their previous song, it’s still a lot of beat, groove, and really nice to dance.
But, first time I hear this single, I can’t directly recognize that is the Blak Eyed Peas, because though the music is still …

Hold Back is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Dirty Work. Dirty Work starts off with a pounding drum rhythm along with a guitar riff which isn’t quite as loud in the mix, but as it’s nothing all that special this isn’t a big …

“P.E. 2000 (Spanish Remix)”
Forever

Nope, sorry Puffy, still no cigar. First he gave us the original version of “P.E. 2000″, then a rock remix version which was a tad bit entertaining but not quite, and now we have the most boring version of them …

For Reverend Green is a song by Animal Collective and is the fourth track to appear on their album Strawberry Jam. Personally, I enjoy the way For Reverend Green opens up because it starts out pretty empty and then gradually has more and more instruments join the mix before …

Dragon is a song by Lou Reed and Metallica which is the penultimate track on their collaboration album Lulu. Opening up in a similar manner as Pumping Blood or Mistress Dread, the song takes on a very melodic introduction before Metallica comes in with a riff which is incredibly …

I am not personally a big fan of Avril Lavigne, I don’t enjoy the way she jumps from ‘punk rock princess’ to ‘pop queen’ every ten minutes, it gets annoying after a while. She should stick to the genre in which she is best at, that being new age …

This album is impressive on several layers. Songs on this album are quite different from one another, and I would not say that I like all of them, all the types of songs that are there. But it is clear that none of the songs on the album are …

So, I was transitioning moving from one house into another. As I was packing the things from my room into boxes preparing for the move, I stumbled across one of the few original CDs I have ever bought: “Country Grammar” by Nelly. This is one of my favourite albums …

What I first thought when I first heard this song, is this young lady watched the film “The Secret”? Like you know, about the “Law of Attraction”? Based on the lyrics of the song, it seems she is thinking in advance about her future love. She is imagining …

One of the old time singers I can truly say I like and have always liked is the singer Percy Sledge. I actually did not know his name until recently when I heard one of his songs playing on the radio again and did a quick google search, but …

If you like redneck humor such as the Blue Colar Comedy tour, then this album is for you. I personaly love this kind of stuff, and Rodney Carrington Live is one of my favorites. From his story of having kids and wanting to “beat them” (its a joke of …

Cannibal Corpse is a band in the ‘Death Metal’ genre. However I personally wouldn’t call them a band at all. I physically and mentally DESPISE them in any ways possible, and anyone who considers grunting an art form of singing seriously needs to open their eyes into the real …

Cheat On Me is a song by Lou Reed and Metallica which appears as the sixth track on their record Lulu. Similar to songs like Pumping Blood or Mistress Dread, Cheat On Me opens up with an incredibly melodic sound, but unlike the other aforementioned songs, this intro thankfully …

Skate Park is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad which appears on their 2011 record, Knife Man. Opening up with a brooding atmosphere created by the drums, the song quickly transitions into an actual riff which I actually think sound’s pretty interesting. Thus far, the guitar riff is interesting, …

Black Curtains is a song by Megadeth which appears on their album Youthanasia. The track starts off with an extremely generic rhythm from Mustaine whcih makes me dearly hope that something better will soon follow this intro. The verse soon kicks in and this section is slightly better although …

If you have ever heard of the band White Stripes you probably know that it is consisted of guitarist and singer extroardinaire along with his wife Meg White on drums. It’s a pretty simple band with no bassist or rhythm guitar and I think that’s what makes them …
